The FBI that Freeh took over in the summer of 1993 was still reeling from the bloody standoff at Ruby Ridge and the conflagration at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texa. Unpopular, under-funded and understaffed, the Bureau was also creeping along in the technological Dark Ages. For eight years, the second longest tenure of any Director since J. Edgar Hoover, Freeh would fight tooth and nail to turn the FBI around. In "MY FBI", we follow Freeh through his disputes with Clinton, National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, and others over indictments against the senior Iranian officials behind the Khobar bombing. When he finally gets indictments in the Bush II administration, the families of those killed present Freeh with a plaque thar reads: "To the only honest man in Washington" No wonder Bill Clinton called Freeh a "law enforcement legend" when he nominated him to be FBI Director. No wonder, either, that when Clinton subsequently called that appointment the worst one he made as president, Freeh considered it a badge of honour.
